Creston wrote on Dec 6, 2011, 21:47: Tintin was actually a huge comic series in most of Europe, but this was back in the 70s and early 80s. To be precise, Tintin was already very popular in Europe in the 30s and 40s. You describe his second coming, when several early classics were overhauled and re-published. |

Dev wrote on Dec 3, 2011, 05:31: I could go on for quite a while, but whats the point. If I want to pay $5 or $10 for the convenience of getting games on a platform that I use most, is that a problem? Its your money and of course your descision. But i am always a little bewildered when people buy games a second time, only to have them on Steam, when there is no real additional value to it rather than having to run Steam to run the game, instead of just running the game ... but i do not pretend to understand everything |

Dev wrote on Dec 2, 2011, 20:40: I think its cool that stardock is starting to bring some of its back titles to steam so I can get rid of impulse. You dont need the Impulse client to play GalCiv. There is no need to "get rid of it". But i guess Stardock will be pleased when you give them more money to have the same game with a client system, you cant "get rid off" so easily. |

LittleMe wrote on Nov 30, 2011, 05:06: Here's what will likely happen... The PC online count will remain much more steady than the dwindling console numbers. All platforms will level off after several months, but PC will remain higher than both consoles combined, and then some. This is the major difference between the PC audience and the console audience. On the consoles YOU HAVE TO sell a maximum of units in the first two or three weeks. The majority of console revenue is made in this time period, dwarfing every number from the PC platform. But in the long run ... just look at Crysis 1. Deeply dissapointing sales in the first month, over the course of a year Crysis 1 becomes one of the most sucessful PC exclusives of the entire EA history. |

spindoctor wrote on Nov 30, 2011, 03:02: Banning the game 3 months after release seems so... pointless. Banning a game when it can be imported from one country over also seems pointless. It is pointless, because the moment the BPjM bans a game, ALL the german kids want to have this game and they will get it
This is all the more strange because I believe Germany is a pretty big gaming market, so you'd expect them to behave a little more sensibly on these issues. Dont expect sensibility when politicians know that they can gain cheap votes by "protecting the youth from violent videogames". This way, everybody feels ok because someone did something and everyone forgets to really care about children.
Banning stuff is an easy way for adults to avoid uncomfortable truths about the way they treat themselves, their children, how children are raised, what world they are born into. |

And after "Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis" there were'nt any more games worth mentioning. Simple plattform and stupid action games, who tried to copy the games, which were based on the IJ formula like Tomb Raider, instead on reyling on the strength of the franchise. Nowadays, we have Uncharted on the PS3, which is THE nearly perfect game adaption of a Indiana Jones movie.
And now this franchise zombie, chewing on already braindead people who dont recognize, that they are not playing games with Zynga, but are slaving away in a money accumulation service. |

I love the three Indiana Jones movies. Great adventure stuff, great atmosphere. Had some fun times. And i love those two adventure games from Lucasfilm Games. I wonder, why no one has made more films or games with this setting?
Hmm ... |

Asmo wrote on Nov 28, 2011, 06:43: The whole move to consoles is purely greed motivated, Ubi and co. know it and we know it. Meanwhile, there are still people putting out good PC games and making money (ask Notch, for example...) If i would be a major publisher, who moves to the consoles, realizing that this is a cramped market which requires high production budgets and much higher marketing costs, but also with the possibility of VERY HIGH revenues, much higher than one can achieve with PC games ... i would abandon the PC market for good and concentrate everything on making profits with console games.
But because ALL majors dont do this last step, is just proof enough that you can make very good money with multiplattform games. Neither of them wants to live without these profits, some of them, especially Ubisoft, still have some very sucessfull PC exclusives.
That said ... nobody wants to abandon the PC plattform. Some publishers only have a shitty publicity management or are just used to lie to the public, because they usually lie to their investors. |

PHJF wrote on Nov 27, 2011, 16:53:
But if you play to the PC's strengths (again, Battlefield 3 is the best current example), then the PC version can do quite well in comparison. Dollars to donuts says the PS3/360 versions of BF3 collectively did at least 5x that of the PC. You earn less money per sold copy on consoles than on the PC. You cant compare just sales numbers, you have to consider additional data. And the console market is packed as hell, so have to spend much more on marketing to earn a dollar than on the PC.
Wasn't Edios very dissapointed in the sales of "Kane & Lynch" worldwide of "only" 1.5 mio? Wasnt CD Project very pleased with the sales of TW1 of "only" several hundred thousand? |

I say good riddance to them. Tell me ... why does Ubisoft release so many PC exclusive games like the ANNO series, like The Settlers or HoMM? Why do they keep producing new games in these series?
Ubisoft doesnt want to abandon the PC market. Ubisoft has just some very shitty publicity management, where Ubisoft employees can say things which clearly contradict the companies business strategy. |

DonJuan wrote on Nov 24, 2011, 16:35: But I bet that the biggest single-player-only PC game in years will not break 2 million in PC sales. You dont have to sell GAZILLIONS of games on the PC to make decent profit. Per sold game devs and publisher make MORE money with a PC game than with a console game.
An example: http://www.lowbird.com/data/images/2011/11/4chan-1322123097081.png
So, publishers have to do much more spending to earn a dollar on consoles than on the PC plattfrom. That is one of the reasons big publishers like EA have a revenue of several billion dollars, but STILL make a huge net loss with their "not so much" profitable console games, which are the majority of the games they release. Yes, you can make huge profits with a console game. But only if its so much popular that revenue is soaring. Below that ... its money thrown out of the window.
Its not important how much games you sell. Its much more important how much money you make from each single sale, combined with the number of games you sell. |
